Wei Li请我帮忙翻译出处不明的 英文网络文章，内容还蛮有意思的，我把原文和译文刊出。

某人遇见一个蝴蝶蛹，蛹上开了个小小的洞口，他耗数小时看着里头的蝴蝶在挣扎想从小洞钻出来，但始终无法破蛹而出。

他决定帮助蝴蝶，就用剪刀把蛹剪破，蝴蝶轻易的出来了，然而身体臃肿，翅膀干瘪。

他继续观察蝴蝶，以为翅膀迟早会伸展，身体会缩小，可是都没有发生，蝴蝶终其此生只能拖着臃肿的身体和干瘪的翅膀爬行，永远飞不起来。

他徒有好心，却不明白生命的奥妙，蝴蝶必须挣扎着穿过那狭小的洞口，才能把液体从身体迫入双翼，破蛹以后才能准备飞行。

生命中的挣扎是必要的，大自然并不需要我们的干预。许多生命的历程我们必须经过，当中的挣扎都是锻炼，为未来作准备 -- 准备飞行。

我相信你也能飞行，现在就推开眼前的困难，再痛也逼自己的翅膀开展，美好的事情就在前方等着！

原文：

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Life's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. Remember nature needs no help, just no interference. There are processes of life, things we all go through. The struggles are a part of our journey and are preparing us for what awaits. They are preparing us to fly.

I truly believe you too can fly. Push through that hurdle now and force your wings to grow, painful as it feels right now. Great things are just ahead of you.
